The major nodes of a human brain network that keeps us awake are shown color-coded in this MRI scan of a postmortem brain. (Image credit: Edlow et al., Sci. Trans. Med., 16 eadj4303 (2024 ...

A scientific team supported in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has developed a new, ultra-high-resolution ...

A new map of 56,000 cells in the outer layer of the human brain could inform research into a whole class of diseases.

On October 12, researchers published a brain atlas that maps over 3,000 types of human brain cells. Researchers hope the atlas will guide new treatments for different brain disorders.

Researchers knew where new brain cells go in rats, but not in humans. In rats, the cells are born in a part of the brain called the subventricular zone. Then they follow a pathway that leads to an ...

A map of part of a mouse brain, which is expected to be generalisable to people, could help scientists understand behaviours, consciousness and even what it means to be human ...

Researchers have created a complete cell atlas of a whole mammalian brain. This atlas serves as a map for the mouse brain, describing the type, location, and molecular information of more than 32 ...

Experiments on live nerve cells — donated from patients undergoing brain surgery — may turn up clues about how the human brain works. Skip to content. ... Map cell shape: ...

An NIH-led effort to create an atlas of human brain cells will help researchers understand autism, ADHD, and schizophrenia. (This story first aired on All Things Considered on October 12, 2023.) ...

Researchers have created an early map of some of the human body’s estimated 37.2 trillion cells. Each type of cell has a unique role, and knowing what all the cells do can help scientists better ...

Zeng said cell-type maps are likely to point to new strategies for treating diseases. In that sense, having an accurate map could be the first step toward putting a wayward brain back on the right ...
